Flight Score
Maintain the centreline
Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,940 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 247 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bremen Airport (EDDW), the Airbus A319 began its journey on runway 27, taking off with a distance of 1,427 meters, which covered 61% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 142 knots, with a local temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 7 knots. The initial climb phase started approximately 1 mile northwest of Stuhr, Lower Saxony, Germany, where the aircraft ascended from 320 meters above sea level to 10,364 meters, an increase of 10,044.2 meters, in 13 minutes and covering 80 nautical miles.
The enroute climb phase was followed by a series of level cruises, with the first one starting 1 mile south of Zwinderen, Provincie Drenthe, The Netherlands, lasting 5 minutes and covering 38 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 10,370 meters above sea level to 3,653 meters, a decrease of 6,717.0 meters, in 12 minutes and covering 78 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Westmalle, Flanders, Belgium, lasting 2 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 1 mile east of Boechout, Flanders, Belgium, where the aircraft descended from 3,656 meters above sea level to 601 meters, a decrease of 3,055.4 meters, in 9 minutes and covering 37 nautical miles.
The Airbus A319 then entered its final approach to runway 01 at Brussels Airport (EBBR), descending from 601 meters above ground level to touch down at a speed of 120 knots. The touchdown distance was 247 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11.4 meters. The aircraft used 1,937 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, covering a total distance of 256 nautical miles in 54 minutes. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 01 at EBBR Brussels Airport from the south was executed with a heading of 14.0° at 4 nm and 407.0 m above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 122 kt, which met the required standards. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 120 kt, which was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -1.8 m/s.
The touchdown distance of 247 m was within the acceptable limits, indicating a well-controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.4 m from the centreline, which could have been a result of a slight deviation during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 3 kt at 324°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,344 m, which accounted for 46% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.4 m, which was consistent with the touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance scored 93.9%, indicating a good but not exceptional execution of the landing.
